The Explorer - Session 15 - My Questions
English Resource Description
In "The Explorer" Session 15, titled "My Questions," students delve into the chapter "At the Top of the Cliff," where the narrative introduces the children to a mysterious man. This session is designed to engage the students' curiosity and critical thinking by having them formulate questions about this new character. The activity prompts students to use thought bubbles as a creative space to jot down the inquiries that spring to mind regarding the man they encounter in the story. This could include questions about his identity, his purpose at the cliff, or any other aspect of his character that piques the students' interest.
The exercise encourages students to think deeply about the story and the characters, fostering a sense of inquiry and exploration. It's an opportunity for them to consider the man's possible backstory, his relationship to the children, and the role he might play in the unfolding plot. By writing down their questions, students actively engage with the text and practice reading comprehension skills, such as inference and prediction, which are vital for their literacy development. This interactive session not only enhances their understanding of the narrative but also stimulates their imagination as they ponder the many mysteries that the character of the man might hold.
